FIGHTING BEET SUGAR
Sugar Trust is Envious of Success of
Boot Supnr Producers
During hl recent visit to Denver
Col Henry G Oxnnrd president of tho
American Beet Sugar company was In
tel viowed by tho Denver Hepublicnn
and made the following statement of in
terest to tho peoplo tributary to tho beet
sugar factories Wo nro iu tho midst
of the hardest kind of fight Tho beet
sugnr interests havo incurred tho en
mity of the sugar syndicato which i
making ovory effort to ruiu our busi
ness Tho syndicate headod by Olnus
Spreckles has almost unlimited capital
and sees thnt if wo contluue to succeed
ns wo havo boou doing in tho past wo
will forco it out of business
Wo hayo uudor way 28 factories for
tho production of boot sugar and expect
to build at lenst 10 more this year This
has aroused tho syndicato to action Its
last movo was to glvo orders to Its
brokers west of tho Missouri river not to
soil any save syudlcato tundo sugar and
recently thoy attomptod to pursuado tho
grocers of Denver to promise to mako 75
per cent of tholr whole sales In tho pro
duct qf tho trust Tho Donvor grocers
however were loyal to homo products
and were not williug to accept tho synd
icates condition I think none of them
hns made nuy agreement with the synd
icato to sell any stated amount of its
goods so as to injure our interests
Hecoutly tho syndicato reduced tho
price of its product hore otio fourth of
a cent a pouud nnd iucrensed it in tho
east where there aro no beot sugar fac
tories This of course forces us to cut
prices aud takes so much from our profit
My couipauy has recently bought S0000
acres of laud in tho Arkausas valley
and expects to erect a factory thore
The syndicate handles crude sugar
briuglng it from Hawaii Java India
and the West Indies aud refines it and
sells it as Americnu sugnr So it will
attempt nt tho next session of cougress
to havo tho duty ou crudo sugar lowered
nud perhaps abolished Should it suo
coed it would be discouraging to tho
beot sugar industry which Is iu its ten
dor infancy
PACIFIC HOTEL CLOSED

solvent however and bills will be paid
and business resumed wheu tho trade
warrouts it Tho uiauager cousidered
it better to close for n time thnu to cou
tinuo to ruu on n losing basis
The auuouucement that the hotel had
closed was a surprise to many no inti
mation to that effect having been given
out and it being generally considered
that it was doiug its full share of busi
ness However wheu it was under
stood that the closiug was but tempo
rary tho general public could realize
thnt thoro might be occasiou for such a
movement ns the summer business of a
hotel uuless it is nt a summer resort is
seldom largo aud it can well bo consid
ered that a hotel may be running at au
expense during the summer
Many patrons will bo sorry to learn
that tho Pacillo has closed even tem

Oakdale vs Norfolk
The ball game yesterday between the
Oakdale and Norfolk teams was a great
disappointment to the Norfolk peoplo
who attended as far as the playing of
the home team was concerned and
many are inclined to blame the manage
ment for the loss of the gome although
others ore ready to concede that it may
have been au off day aud that it was
impossible for the team to put up its
usually good game McAlvalne pitched
a faultless game during tho first inning
but when five runs were let lb during
the second he received the greater por
tion of the censure and some went so
far as to assert that he threw the game
to Oakdale However this cannot be
substantiated He was retired in the fifth
inning and Manager Winder took the
box after failmg to induce Adams to
finish a losing game After the fifth in
ning there was ill feeling and dissatis
faction among tte players and there
was considerable cross talk and many
accusations so that Manager Winders
disbanded the team aud then resigned
tho management 4t is probable that
his resignation will be nccopted aud
that Harry Loder ill be luduced to ac
cept the position during the balance of
the season Uakdale played a very nice
and clean game and it is generally con
sidered that they were fully entitled to
their victory There was a good attend
ance aud the gate receipts were good
Followiug is the score

more stress will be placed upon gram
mar aud language also geography nud

In closing the superintendent says
I have made considerable study of the
condition of school work iu other
counties and in other states and desire
to assure the teachers of Madison county
that our work does not suffor by com
parison We are inclined oftentimes to
become dissatisfied with our work and
feel that we should got greater results
for the labor we expend But vhen we
compare our results with those of others
doing like work w are better pleased
with our accomplishments T wish all
Madlsou county tenchers might go out
and examine the work of other counties
and states I am sure you would feel
the same as I do viz That we aro not
doing tho worst work and still that we
are far from doing what should bo done
